Hello again everyone,

I just posted on here this morning, but since then I have updated my build as other members suggested. A member recommended to switch to two sticks of ram at 8gb, but with the money I saved on the power supply, I can get the 16gb ram and it still ends up being cheaper than my original build. I also took advice to grab a different motherboard. Any further advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

CM storm case
Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB ram
Intel Core i5 4670k
Asus Z87-A Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 Splinter Cell OC 2GB
Samsung sata black internal dvd rw drive
Samsung SSD 120gb
Toshiba 1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Cougar 700W power supply

Hope that helped..
And yeah I also see that you have 16GB ram. I dont think THAT much ram is needed even if you're gaming. 8 GB 2133 MHZ is more than enough.
And with the money saved you could buy this (more good than GTX 770)
R9 280X

Hope that too helped.

Thanks again for your help, I'll be swapping that around, seems like you know your stuff. One more question, do you think I need any more cooling?

Thanks again

Yep it will be better if you cool.
If you're on a budget, the Hyper 212 Evo is your best bet. If not, then the Noctua NH-D14 is a beast!

Hope this helps.
